Dicen que el Alma
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
espera tranquila,
Y la vida despierta a sus ansias.
Dicen que amar es el unico sueño
que llena de luz la mirada.
Es sentimiento divino,
es cancion,
Nadie te dice que existe el dolor,
la mentira y el odio es herida,
te cambia la vida, te cambia la voz,
se convierte en rencor la esperanza,
te vuelves venganza,
se pierde el amor,
Ay amor, no me dejes amor.
Coro:
queda un llanto escondido,
y el silencio en el camino.
Amar es este amigo,
es beso, destino, los dos.
Amar no es un pecado,
el odio duele a muerte,
si amar es camino,
me quedo contigo...
Amor.
Dicen que el alma
espera tranquila,
Y la vida despierta a sus ansias.
Dicen que amar es el unico sueño
que llena de luz la mirada.
Es sentimiento divino,
es cancion,
bendicion de un camino sin lagrimas.
Nadie te dice que existe el dolor,
la mentira y el odio es herida,
te cambia la vida, te cambia la voz,
se convierte en rencor la esperanza,
te vuelves venganza,
se pierde el amor,
Ay amor, no me dejes amor.
Coro:
queda un llanto escondido,
y el silencio en el camino.
Amar es este amigo,
es beso, destino, los dos.
Amar no es un pecado,
el odio duele a muerte,
si amar es camino,
me quedo contigo...
Amor.
The lyrics to Francisco Céspedes's song "Dicen que el alma" ("They Say the Soul") celebrate the power of love while acknowledging the existence of pain, lies, and hatred that can challenge it. The song begins by asserting that the soul waits calmly while life awakens its desires, and that loving is the only dream that fills the gaze with light. The chorus adds that love is a friend, a kiss, a destiny shared by two, and not a sin, unlike hatred that hurts to death. However, the song also highlights that nobody tells you about pain and how lies and hatred wound you and change your life and voice. Hope can turn into resentment, and love can get lost if you are not careful. The song ends with a plea to love not to leave the singer.
The lyrics of "Dicen que el alma" convey an insightful mixture of enthusiasm and caution about love that reflects the experiences of many people. The song portrays love as a divine feeling that elevates the soul, but also as a fragile and elusive force that can falter under adverse circumstances. The message seems to be that one should embrace love with open eyes and a willing heart, aware of its complexities and willing to work through them. The lyrics also use vivid imagery and poetic language to create an emotional impact that resonates with the music's melody and rhythm.
